That was just a really stupid exchange between the 2 of them. Mohammed put a little extra into that foul, it was a good foul, gotta do that when someone is running open to the hoop, but he put a little stank on the contact, LeBron over reacted and Mohammed took it to another level.

I see nothing wrong with Mohammed getting the boot from that. I may be biased though.

Am I crazy for thinking Memphis would have a somewhat decent chance if the make it to the finals against Miami?

If they let Lebron do his thing, just focus on him trying not to be too much of a playmaker, Conley & Gasol should be able to do whatever they want vs Chalmers & Bridman, Tony Allen should totally shut down Wade - especially if he is still injured - and just get Z-Bo to be real physical and beat up Bosh scaring him off the court???

Or am I just delusional and want the Heat to lose too badly?

Your not, Memphis always plays Miami well, even beat the crap out 'em early in the year.

I said it was a terrible trade when it happened, and it's still a terrible trade now for OKC.

Daryl Morey torched Sam Presti in that trade.

We have a lottery pick from toronto this year, another first rounder from Houston this year and our natural first rounder, also another first from houston next year. Plus Jeremy Lamb, and Martin produces fairly well most of the season. That, and we couldn't give Harden what he wanted and deserved. I think we'll be fine. Thanks for your concern, though.

I genuinely think the Spurs could beat the Heat. As much as I like the Grizzlies and think watching them is fun, I think the Spurs are gonna roll this series in 4 or 5, and I think that the Pacers will push the Heat to 6 or possibly even 7 games, giving the Spurs a decided advantage.

Going to be interesting.

Agreed, the Spurs will roll the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies offense matches up perfectly with what San Antonio can do; man up from the halfcourt line to the hoop. You cant win against San Antonio methodically working the ball down court. It's just a REALLY bad match-up for the Grizzlies.

The Heat play in between fast-break and halfcourt, so San Antonio will be in it. Also, the Heat will always be succeptable to good PG and big man play. Duncan's the most boring, yet efficient offensive big man, ever. He can out play Bosh, even though I Bosh is hugely underrated. OUtside of Duncan, everyone on San Antonio is apparently at least 6'9", with wigspan and defensive intensity.

I SHOULD root for Memphis so the Heat can roll 'em, and Stern doesn't get great ratings. But, what else would I watch? The Mariners? Reality TV like all you girls?
